Crafted with exquisite attention to detail, this artefact takes the form of an enchanting duck. Jonathan Bailey's expert photography captures every intricate feature of this ancient treasure, allowing us to marvel at its beauty and craftsmanship. The brooch is a testament to the skill and artistry of Roman metalworkers, who transformed everyday objects into stunning works of wearable art. Its delicate design showcases the Romans' appreciation for nature and their ability to infuse it into their creations. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece, we are transported back in time, imagining how it would have adorned the clothing of a fashionable Roman citizen or perhaps even an esteemed member of society. The brooch serves as a tangible link between our present-day world and that of ancient Rome—an era filled with grandeur, innovation, and cultural exchange. Thanks to Historic England's dedication to preserving our heritage, this extraordinary artefact has been safeguarded for future generations to appreciate. Through Jonathan Bailey's lens, we can now admire its intricate details up close—a reminder that history lives on through these precious remnants from bygone eras.
